Shedding - when do you shed the most

[foreveryours]

Having studied my own shedding in detail for over 2 years, there is little rhyme or reason to "when" I experience the most loss during a given year. In my case, it appears that seasons play an insignificant role in my shedding. I think external factors (e.g. stress including hormonal imbalance and microorganism proliferation) dominate



Since I don't know enough, yet, to decide whether the 3rd option is true (I really doubt it) I didn't vote

I shed most in late Autumn. Right now I seem to be going through a shed of some sort, possibly from having COVID in the second half of December. It's not a crazy amount, but heavier than my Autumn one.

For me it's consistent throughout the year.

Even though our seasons are drastically different from one another, I've not noticed any seasonal variation in my shedding.

I seem to shed more in the autumn time beginning of winter. Besides that it’s pretty consistent and maybe a tad more around springtime as well.

Bar the fact that I couldn't see any seasonal sheds due to ongoing breakage-loss, I am a seasonal shedder... always have been. Boy that should have clued me in to the breakage right there as well (so many signs and I just ignored them).

Still, I can't complain!

Here's an interesting article about christmas-related hairloss:

I think this might be happening with me, because i can't eat salad and all those healthy foods when my stomach is full of chocolate or some other unhealthy treats, so i might get defincies during that time. And unfortunately that time tends to last long time after christmas... (Having kids makes healthy diets so much more challenging you know... )

But yeah I think I shed most in autumn and winter. I hate it. I need absolutely no shedding. I could make many wigs from my sheddings, if I only had time.

I definitely think the heat makes me shed more - would be interesting to see if this changes after being in a colder climate though!

It's fairly consistent for me, but usually during the seasonal transition from autumn to winter, I notice an uptick in shedding for a few weeks
